Trudy,

There are a number of conversion tools available  that allow for conversion
between .tif and .pdf.  However, if any "full  text search" need is
anticipated in the future, I would opt for an initial  OCR, OR for an initial
conversion to a searchable .pdf.  Given that, I  would not recommend using
OCR and full text search as a replacement for a  good index for the
documents, although I've seen some prospects and customers  who seem to THINK
of that as a good idea.
